You are correct on both accounts. I was supposed to be on a break. I was not really thinking clearly was just trying to feel better by playing poker. Not going to make excuses just going to move forward. be cool mate

So I just decided to restart the bankroll building challenge again. Do you think I should do it on the PokerStars site, or should I try my luck using my FullTilt or PartyPoker account. What do you all think should I mix things up or not? best wishes to you all. be cool

Well I am currently playing both. Recently decided to work on taking my game to a new level of play and started trying to master the 6-max tables. We shall see. right now I am mostly just trying to not lose my current bankroll and grow it into something great. be cool

Sounds good. I am usually a 6 max guy but was trying fullring as a break on Stars. It actually made a difference as well. Maybe alternating between the two may work for me.
Looking forward to see how your new way works out.

Well I took a shot at moving up a level higher to NL25 and things went very bad. I dropped two full buy ins in less then 15 minutes. Dropping that $50 along with another $23 on another table for a total of $73 really hurt my pride and my bankroll. I stopped playing for two full hours to make sure I was not tilting then went back to grinding the lower level again and after 6 hours stopped down just $22.26 for the day. I feel I did good to grind back a bit over $50 considering the way the day had started. Current bankroll is $190 US I will get the rest back later today. be cool

Well it has been an interesting ride of ups and downs. The challenge left me with a loss of just $2.16 over the two month run. I will personally accept that loss. So to my Friend, Partner, & Staker I make the following offer. We can let it ride and try again or I can make arrangements to get you money back to you. I WILL be giving it another go even if I am alone in the challenge. There is no abligation on you to take part again. you can stop now and break even. Just drop me a line you have me email. The new challenge will begin on May 8th, 2014

$2 loss over a two month run I would take over lost most of your roll or going busto myself. You can always crack back on and start finally running good and them the profit will start coming in.
Looking forward to seeing your results as always mate.

Well the first two days of the new challenge were both break even days over all. I am not playing the challenge during the weekends only Monday to Friday. I have also decided to play no more then 4 tables at a time in order to remain better focused. I plan on maintaining a 40 buy in ratio for whatever level I am playing at and whenever I have an extra 4 buy ins for the level above I will take a 2 table shot at moving upward in levels. I hope to never drop backward in levels this way. best wishes to you all. be cool

Time for an update.
Day 3 of the bankroll challenge has been a loser overall. I lost 3 buy in's in total plus an additional $5 playing tournaments. Total loss for the day was just over $11. That takes the total loses to - $13.50

Today has proven to be an alright day overall. Play over 1000 hands of poker and seemed to work through a downswing and then turned things around and started climbing my way back out of a $21 hole. I finished the day having won back the first part of the days loses and and also won back an additional $5. What that means is the since starting the current bankroll challenge, I am now only down - $8.30
